Mm-scale and/or µm-scale in situ inorganic geochemical analyses of organic-rich, laminated
fine-grained sediments increasingly offer decadal or even seasonal perspectives of …

Micro-variations of lipid hydrocarbons and biomarkers in well-laminated shales have not
been extensively documented, especially within different rock textures, fabrics and …

Organic matter (OM) accumulation in organic matter-rich mudstones, or black shales, is
generally recognized to be controlled by combinations of bioproductivity, preservation, and …

Late Devonian marine systems were characterized by major environmental perturbations
and associated biotic community changes linked to climate change and widespread oceanic …

The burial of marine sourced organic carbon (OC) in continental margin sediments is most
commonly linked to oceanographic regulation of bottom-water oxygenation (anoxia) and/or …

The accumulation of organic matter (OM) in marine sediments is a vital part of the global
carbon cycle today and on ancient Earth, and is driven by a cumulative shift of organic …

Burgess Shale-type faunas provide a unique glimpse into the diversification of metazoan life
during the Cambrian. Although anoxia has long been thought to be a pre-requisite for this …

Relative abundances and distribution patterns of mineral components in finely laminated
“Livello Bonarelli (LB)” black shale from the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary, Cretaceous …

Depositional environment highly affects the geochemical feature of sediments recording the
information of paleoenvironment and its evolution. Geochemical data for Ordovician Wufeng …

The siliceous nature of the Mowry Shale distinguishes it from many of the well-studied
organic-rich mudstones of the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway. Available models of …
